Preparing the landscape for TB vaccines: South Africa’s strategic planning
The South African TB Think Tank is a national collaboration of TB stakeholders,
including researchers, policymakers, clinicians, and civil society. Chaired by the Chief Director of
the National TB Programme (NTP), members consolidate TB research through several technical
task teams, providing evidenced-based policy recommendations to the Department of Health. To
support the national TB vaccine initiative, the TB Think Tank provided recommendations for the
recently released NTP Strategic Plan, 2023-28
